A great place to stop for coffee when biking through the Elm Creek trail system. It's become ritual for me to first stop down at Cafe Donuts, grab a donut or two to go from there, and come over and have a cup of coffee at Caribou with my donuts. The staff are usually pretty friendly and helpful as well.

One of the better caribous to go to. Been here several times and have never had a complaint. Clean areas, fast service, and good people. Drinks are made excellently from one barista to another!

If you’re seriously dragging in the morning, like you’ve left your brain at home, this Caribou Coffee Team has your back! I got top notch service from Donn who was kind enough to recommend the exact iced coffee I needed so that I could function for the day at work. So if you want excellent coffee with fabulous service, stop by this location, they’re awesome!

The morning crew at this location are so kind and hospitable! I have a wonderful experience each time I go, they never fail to put their own touch on the customer interaction, and they are very good about ensuring the drink is to your liking by asking clarifying questions. It's worth mentioning their attention to detail and friendliness because you do not get that at every location! (Looking at you, Fridley on 57th)

Abby was kind, informative, and helpful. The drink came out great and the crema was beautiful. I like this location's vibe. It's unpretentious and warm. I take calls for work and enjoy mini-retreats from the office here, at least once every couple weeks.
